Design and fit-out with the professional touch

When it comes to professional environments, second best simply won’t do. The quality of the products installed will quickly be put to the test so it’s vital you get a designer that understands the heavy-duty demands expected.

DSP (Interiors) Ltd in Derby has carried out many office refurbishments and fit-out projects over the years, creating highly functional working areas to promote productivity. Here are just a few examples…

Description:
Upon securing the occupation of a prestigious historic building in Nottingham; award winning private equity investment managers Foresight Group were keen to create a distinctive workspace. DSP undertook a full scheme of refurbishment for Foresight Group at their new premises. The fit out created a contemporary, classy interior that complimented with and emphasized the historical features of the building.

DSP undertook a wide range of services including:

Interior design & space planning

Bespoke furniture

Bespoke kitchen & WC fit outs

Acoustic & frameless glass partitions

Bespoke signage including back painted glass feature wall

Bespoke graphics & Manifestation,

Luxury flooring & decoration

Complete fire detection system, mechanical & electrical installation

The interior design scheme reflects the nature of the clientele blending contemporary design with the traditional features of the building. Acoustics were high on the agenda given the sensitivity of client confidentiality; acoustic partitions, quilting and flooring treatment was integrated throughout crucial areas. DSP took the lead throughout the project ensuring the design and fit out came within budget and well within the tight timescales allocated to the project.

Foresight Group were delighted with the final result which has provided a prestigious setting for dealing with important clients.

Description:
We have had the honour of recently completing the high quality fit out of Kirk Estates new head offices. After a great deal of research they settled on the picturesque town of Oakham; giving them an ideal location as a base for business within the East Midlands. With an upmarket vibe the location complemented their clientele and offering perfectly.
Following acquisition of the new premises DSP we were approached by the team at Kirk Estates to partner with them and produce a ‘wow factor’ interior with a high end finish. The importance of incorporating a strong branding within the shop was key to the Directors vision. Their drive for perfection was inherent throughout the duration of the project and it was a pleasure working with a client with high ambitions. As our Director explains:

“We are delighted to have been involved in the design and fit out of Kirk Estate’s headquarters. The intricacy of the design and bespoke detailing has been a major driver of the project. The interior design scheme incorporates local points of interest and provides a welcoming ambience with a modern-vintage twist. In spite of the bespoke nature of the fit out we are pleased that we were able to undertake the works within the client’s ambitious timescales. This was made achievable through our in house design and installation capabilities further aided by the drive and enthusiasm of Kirk Estates to achieve something special”

The interior design incorporates full wall graphics of Rutland Waters, a bespoke reception desk and bookcase with high end finishes, rustic plank flooring and tailored carpets, bespoke signage and specialist shop front displays, a new external shop front sign and many other intricate features. The interior space has achieved the perfect balance between portraying a sophisticating high end business yet at the same time is warm and welcoming. Great customer service is key for the business and it was of upmost important for the directors that potential clients felt comfortable and well looked after.

Working on the project was a pleasure for the team here at DSP. Both companies had a shared enthusiasm for the project and this helped achieve such a great result in a very tight schedule. The feeling was mutual as Director Natalie Penfield explains:
“Thanks again to DSP (Interiors) Ltd, we couldn't have achieved such an incredible office without your impeccable service.”

Description:
Upon securing a new office in the prestigious Lace Market in Nottingham, award winning accountants Smith Cooper were keen to emulate the grandeur of its location within their offices. They enlisted the services of DSP to guide them through this process working from initial concept designs through to full 3D virtual mock ups of the interiors. The input from DSP's design team was vital in order to ensure all business functions were space planned to work seamlessly with each other. This proved a challenging task due to the nature of the building; a set of former commercial units with the ground floor level set at various heights. The result was a free flowing office environment that created a wow factor yet at the same time effectively supporting the current and future business operation.

The interior design scheme reflects the nature of the clientele blending contemporary design with traditional finishes. Acoustics were high on the agenda given the sensitivity of client confidentiality; acoustic partitions, quilting and flooring treatment was integrated throughout crucial areas. DSP took the lead throughout the project ensuring the design and fit out came within budget and well within the tight timescales allocated to the project.

The final interior scheme is very impressive and we are proud of the work undertaken at Smith Cooper.

“From conception through to installation they have provided Smith Cooper with a highly professional service … Their expertise and advice has given us confidence at each critical stage.” Chris Taylor, Managing Director, Smith Cooper Nottingham.

Description:
With the decor looking dated and the client waiting area becoming increasingly cluttered, DSP were consulted to advise on potential opportunities to refresh the interior and improve the existing layout.

Our designers found this a perfect opportunity to inject some modernisation in to the interior design at the same time incorporating new marketing and branding features.

The first key upgrade was to install a new suspended ceiling system to improve acoustics, facilitate new services and create a more modern feel to the space.

New furniture and workstations allowed better concealment of storage and de-clutter the working areas creating a much better first impression for clients. Furthermore installation of a modern frameless glass partition partially screened off the rear workstation and created an ideal opportunity to incorporate some funky new branding via manifestation.
